It depends are you calling it a leave in moisturizer or leave in conditioner. A moisturizer would have water as the first ingredient usually, and a moisturizer would be high in fatty alcohols & emollients. I was debating on getting this or Shea moisture's version of this, and went for Shea moisture's because the first ingredient was water. I think i'll try kckt in the summer when I'm not looking for as much moisture. ps the shea moisture stuff is called 'Extra Moisture Detangler'
